Day 13: Midway Through The Fast !!!
Congratulations! You've made it through half the fast!
Remember, your fasting is not in vain. So, hang on in there and reap the benefits.
Tomorrow, we will meet again for Corporate Prayer. It will again be at Bob and Carol McKee's home.
Spiritual Benefit #4: Confession of Sin
Daniel 9:3-6 NIV
3 So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.
4 I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed:
"Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments,
5 we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws.
6 We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our ancestors, and to all the people of the land.
Fasting helps us confess sins. Before Daniel ever made a request he confessed his sins and those of the nation. Because he humbled himself with fasting he was more easily able to do so.
If sins are still hounding you use this time to confess it. Our Father is so faithful and so just. He will forgive you and cleanse you of every one.
